Basil Pesto Sauce recipe

Basil Pesto Sauce – Very healthy and Perfect for kids too!Basil Pesto Sauce recipe
1 cup basil leaves
1 cup spinach leaves
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
1 small clove of garlic
Pinch of salt
 

Place everything in a food processor or mixer, except for the olive oil. Process the ingredients for few seconds. Then start adding the olive oil while the machine is running. Add enough until you get the consistency desired.

Note:
You can omit the garlic if you don’t want to serve garlic to your kids. I use walnuts instead of pine nuts because it is more economical and the end result is almost the same. I also add spinach to add to the nutrition value of the pesto. If your child does not like spinach, this is a good way of “hiding” it. You could also add more parmesan if desired.

This recipe is perfect with your favorite pasta, white fish, salad and grilled vegetables.
